Not That Different
(karen taylor-good/joie scott)
She said were much too different
Were from two separate worlds
And he admitted she was partly right
But in his hearts defense he told her
What they had in common
Was strong enough to bond them for life
He said look behind your own soul
And the person that youll see
Just might remind you of me
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things, too
So were really not that different, me and you
She could hardly argue
With his pure and simple logic
But logic never could convince a heart
She had always dreamed of loving someone more exotic
And he just didnt seem to fit the part
So she searched for greener pastures
But never could forget
What he whispered when she left
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things, too
So were really not that different, me and you
Was it time or was it truth
Maybe both lead her back to his door
As her tears fell at his feet
She didnt say I love you
What she said meant even more
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things, too
So were really not that different, me and you

The Hurt
You say you want to seek the truth, but its hard to find
No one to help you, your friends dont have the time
So you ride around in your car. switch on the radio
You want to relate to something you once read in a book
What kind of a way to try to take a look
Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face grey
Until I got hurt, till got hurt, why didnt i
I didnt think of this until I got hurt
till I got hurt. baby. I didnt know what love is
You say you want to learn to laugh cause music makes you cry
But the tears you shed are only in your eye
So you turn to any phoney mouth with a tale to tell
But hes just a hoaxer dont you know, selling peace and religion
Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum
Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, I did not know what to do
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didnt i
I didnt think of this until I got hurt
till I got hurt, baby, I didnt know what love is
Young son, dont let me down, young son
Im trusting you to keep on, never turn away now
Hold on, never let go, now hold on
Turn your heart to the bright sun
Love will come your way
Cos till you make that final show
Youll never know what love youve been missing
Missing
You say you want to seek the truth but you work alone
No one to help you and nobody to push you on
So you sit at home drinking your wine, television on
You wait for a miracle, cos you say one day onell come along
(but wishful thinking, boy) any minute now you might be gone
Id like to help you brother but that would be wrong
Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didnt know which way
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didnt i
I didnt think of this until I got hurt
till I got hurt, baby, I didnt know what love is
Until I got hurt, oh I didnt know what love is

A Simple Thing Like Cry
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
Dont you know I plan to spend
Every moment of my life with you
Now youre trying to tell me
That my dreams just wont come true
Thanks for giving me a million reasons why
But it hurts too bad to do
A simple thing like cry
If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt me so bad
Maybe I could
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
I could cry, cry
If it didnt hurt me
If I didnt love you
Hurt me

Maybe Its Love
(written by annie roboff, beth nielsen chapman)
Everybodys heart aches
Every time it opens
You dont know if youll win or lose
You have to just let go
No I wasnt looking
Its funny how I found you
Just when I thought
Id live my life alone
Maybe its love
That I have longed for
Maybe its love
I should be strong for
Im tearing down the walls inside
I want to laugh, and cry and kiss
Maybe its love
I miss
Ive close my heart down
So many seasons
I didnt want to hurt again
I didnt want to try
So I turned myself to ice and stone
Said I dont need anyone
And nobody else
Would ever make me cry
Maybe its love
Ive run away from
Maybe its love
Bringing me back home
Im tearing down the walls inside
I want to laugh, and cry and kiss
Maybe its love I miss
So put your arms around me now
Hold me tight
Show me how
No one has ever loved me more
Ive waited for so long
Maybe its love
Maybe Im dreaming
Maybe its love
I can believe in
Im tearing down the walls inside
I want to laugh, and cry and kiss
Maybe its love
Maybe its love
Maybe its love
Like this

The one who laugh and the one be hurt
I will let my love
Fly from my arms
The one who laugh is me
The one be hurt also me
I will let my love
Free to reach dream
The one who laugh is me
The one be hurt also me
Nothing can be compared
With my lover’s happiness
The one who laugh is me
The one be hurt also me
Why I should doubt to choose
Or force to keep in my cage
The one who laugh is me
The one be hurt also me

I'm so sorry baby girl
I'm so sorry baby, for all the hurt I've caused
I really didnt mean, the things I said to you
I love you oh so much, my aching heart repents
For all the hurt I've caused, please help me make it through
I cannot tell a lie, I really love you so
My tears are full of pain, I feel your hurt inside
Please baby dont let go, please say you still love me
You are my baby girl, my arms are open wide
Please fill me arms with love, so gracious and divine
Oh baby I am lost, without your love so great
You are my bread and water, please always stay by me
I'll love you more each day, I hope I'm not too late

Precious In My Eyes
I often write funny things
about my wife and friends,
but I would never hurt or slander them,
they are too precious in my eyes.
Help I will give them,
but hurt never crosses my mind,
they are too valuable to ever sacrifice.
I never like seeing anyone feeling down,
that sort of misery only causes a frown.
Love for everyone is what we need to give.
The old saying has it right
when it says live and let live.
Hearts will always flourish
under a laugh and a smile.
A blown kiss can travel mile after mile.
A hug for someone
can often save the day,
and a prayer can help
to chase the fear away.
So as I look around
at all those I cherish most
I would feel so upset
if I thought I hurt any of them.
I only joke about with
the ones I love the most.
It was just my way when I say something simple
like I love you most of all.

Fear of...
Fear of one thing
Fear of many things
Fear of winning nothing, but just losing
Fear of life and what is called death
Fear of being too happy, only to get hurt again
Fear of something becoming nothing
Fear of losing something of much value
Fear of love becoming hate
Fear of being liked or disliked, is of the same
Fear of misunderstanding what is understood by others
Fear is of many things
But what makes fear?

What I Meant To Say
(what I meant to say)
Last night I told a lie
When I told you I could say goodbye
Here in the light of day
What a crazy thing for me to say
What I meant to say was I love you
Whats been killin me is I hurt you
What I didnt do was hold you when I saw the teardrops fall
What I shouldve said was Im sorry
What I shouldve said was forgive me
What I meant to say was what I didnt say at all
Last night I had a dream
You were really walking out on me
I woke up scared to death
Please forget about the things I said
What I meant to say was I love you
Whats been killin me is I hurt you
What I didnt do was hold you when I saw the teardrops fall
What I shouldve said was Im sorry
What I shouldve said was forgive me
What I meant to say was what I didnt say at all
What I meant to say was what I didnt say at all

For You
This is for you, my best friend
The one person I can tell my soul to
Who can relate to me like no other
Who I can laugh with to no extents
Who I can cry to when times are tough
Who can help me with the problems of my life
Never have you turned you back on me
Or told me I wasn't good enough
Or let me down
I don't think you know what that means to me
You have gone through so much pain and you still have time
For me
And I love you for listening to me even when inside YOU are dying
And I look up to you because you are strong
And caring, and beautiful
Even though you don't think you are
And I hope you know I am always here
To listen to you laugh and cry and help
In all the ways that I can
And I will try to be at least half the friend you are
To me
I hope you know I would not be the person I am today without you
My best friend.

Laugh
Love laughed at you and made you blue
Now heres what you should do
Well laugh, though your heart is breaking in two
Yeah laugh, dont let them know he hurt you
Well laugh and pretend true love will come again
Yeah laugh, laugh and laugh
Laugh, though the one you love is really gone
Yeah laugh, even though youll be alone
Yeah laugh and pretend true love will come again
Yeah laugh, laugh and laugh
Well let me hear you laugh now
Though its hard, so hard for you to do
Laugh with me, cos you see

The Fear To Wake Up
Everyday fear the dawn,
There is fear in my veins,
The fear of facing the truth,
The truth that we were not meant to be together,
The truth that I am nomore than a friend to you,
The truth that I am not going to be with you again,
Everyday i wake up with hope,
I hope that u might come back,
I hope that u might realise that nobody else can love you more than i do,
I hope that u might realise how much you mean to me,
Days, weeks and months passes,
with fear in my veins, hope in my heart.
Dedicated to the lady in red.

Fear Of Dying
I'm not afraid of standing still
I'm just afraid of being bored
I'm not afraid of speaking my mind
I'm just afraid of being ignored
I'm not afraid of feeling
and I'm not afraid of trying
I'm just afraid of losing
And I am afraid of dying
Without you yes I do and I hope that you do too
Without you yes I do
Without you yes I do and I hope that you do too
Without you yes I...
I'm not afraid of being sick
I'm more afraid of being well
I'm not afraid
Put the gun in my hand
I'm just afraid it will hurt like (hurt like) hell
I'm not afraid of screaming
and I'm not afraid of crying
I'm just afraid of forgetting
And I am afraid of dying
Without you yes I do and I hope that you do too
Without you yes I do
Without you yes I do and I hope that you do too
Without you yes I...
Fear of
Fear of
Fear of
Fear of
I'm not afraid of looking ugly
I couldn't care what they say
I'm not afraid of happy endings
I'm just afraid my life won't work that way
I'm not afraid of forgiveness
I absolve you everything
I'm not afraid of lying...
But I am afraid of dying
Without you yes I do and I hope that you do too
Without you yes I do
Without you all I do is sit and think about you
Without you yes I...

On The Way
Well You Know I'll Always Love You
But It Would Have Been A Lie
If I Said That I Could Please You
Every Moment That I Try
Wouldn't Want To See You Crying
So L Hope You Don't Mind
The Things I Say
On The Way
Well We've Been Traveling For A Long Time
And We Finally Finished Here
Though I Said Some Things To Hurt You
Well It Was Only Out Of Fear
Wouldn't Want To See You Crying
So L Hope You Don't Mind
The Things I Say
On The Way
Well You Know I'll Always Love You
Everything Will Be Alright
If I Know You Don't Mind
The Things I Say
On The Way
Well You Know I'll Always Love You
Everything Will Be Ok
If I Know You Don't Mind
The Things I Say

Fears of a teenage mafioso
Fear of love,
Fear of pain,
Fear of the unforgiving cane,
Fear of lies,
Fear of sighs,
Fear of those distraught eyes,
Fear for the unknown,
Fear for the known,
Fear of everything combined,
Fear is what makes me blind,
Fear is what makes me think,
and act in blind accordance,
Hindering the world around me,
Hence, My Fear of myself
Fear is when you run away,
Fear is when you’re scared to love someone,
Fear is when the sky turns grey,
Fear of confusion,
Fear is like a dark blue ocean,
Fear won’t let me escape
Fear mocks me, watching
Fear taunts me, waiting
Fear of losing,
Fear you cannot see,
Fear dealt upon thee.
Fear of darkness and death,
Fear of a dead comrade,
Fear of a gun being cocked,
Fear of being endlessly stalked,
Fear of time,
Fear of all the crime,
Fear of the undesirable truth,
Fear for the good.
Fear for the sake of life,
Fear of the neighbors next door,
Fear of the secretive man in the subway,
Fear of the revolutionary uproar,
Fear is to not rejoice your living,
Fear for the sake of your life,
But to fear is to forsake it.
Fear is to have no hope in life,
Fear of the fear of fear,
We need no reason to fear,
For fear has no reason for itself.
I guess life is just like that,
To fear for no reason,
For to fear is not to reason,
But to reason is to fear.
To fear for the sake of fear,
Is fear for fear,
So let me think,
What else do I fear?
What else do I fear?
What else do I fear?

Laughter, The Best Medicine?
what's in a sound, thaT HAS NO WORD?
laughing in enjoyment, or at a spirit broken
laughter brings us closer, or for a fight will gird
laughter has a resonance, meaning many things unspoken
being me, i may laugh, i may cry
but i will only half the time laugh with most of you
the laughter that a good man, a good joke may buy
is the laughter that soars joyful in skies of blue
the laughter that needs a victim? maliscious and so wrong,
you're resonance is dissonance to this poets soul
in this errant, poetic whim, this sad and mournful song
i speak of sounds emanating from a hole
not a heart.
hope, Emily says, sings without words
like the morning majesty of a symphany of birds
nobody i would condone, laughs at birds, only
somehow, with them, but if they're hurt, like maybe you or me
have a poets heart, and share some hope
what may start with a smile
at hurt feelings, or a snit, or a mope
might become a laugh, in a little while
i've heard of many a hopeful smile
try one on
before the music is all gone
and you're left at break of dawn
alone
laughing...

In Love with Me
I hope you fall outta love with me
I hope you forget all about me
I hope you're not hurting inside
I hope everything turns out right
And I wish you the best of luck
I hope that this all works out for you
I hope that I will too
Cuz you know I've
Fallen out of love with you
Been some hard times
Some unfair crimes
Just want to forget and go
So I want you to know
That it doesn't matter to me
Whether you go or leave
So please
Hear me
I hope you fall outta love with me
I hope you forget all about me
I hope you're not hurting inside
I hope everything turns out right
And I wish you the best of luck
I hope that this all works out for you
I hope that I will too
Cuz you know I've
Fallen out of love with you
But I've been hurt before
And you just added more
I try to be alright
Try not to start a fight
Sometimes it hurts inside
Makes me wanna cry
So in the end I guess I want you to
Fall back in love with me
Remember all about me
And keep holding on
Just keep that bond
Love me and cry
Like you were going to die
So I hope you
Fall back in love with me
